truffles Ingredients
13 cup Land O Lakes® Heavy Whipping Cream
14 cup Land O Lakes® Butter
1 (10-ounce) package (2 cups) crème de menthe baking chips
1 (12-ounce) package vanilla-flavored candy coating (almond bark)
2 drops green food color
Powdered sugar or cocoa
14 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine whipping cream and butter in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat 4-5 minutes or until butter is melted. Add crème de menthe baking chips. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, 2-3 minutes or until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours or freeze 1 hour until firm.
-
STEP 2
Dust hands with powdered sugar or cocoa. Working quickly, shape mixture into 1-inch balls. (Truffle mixture will be soft; repeat dusting hands to make shaping easier, if necessary.) Place balls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
-
STEP 3
Melt candy coating in deep 1-quart saucepan over low heat; stir 8-10 minutes or until smooth. Stir in food color until well mixed. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.
-
STEP 4
Remove truffles from refrigerator. Place 1 truffle in candy coating mixture. Use small spoon to coat truffle; immediately remove and place onto waxed paper. Repeat with remaining truffles. (Work quickly so truffles do not melt.) Refrigerate 10 minutes or until coating is set.
-
STEP 5
Drizzle each truffle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until set. Place truffles into paper or foil candy cups. Store refrigerated in container with tight-fitting lid up to 2 weeks.
Tip #1
High-quality candy coating disks are available at specialty cake and candy decorating stores and online.
Tip #2
Do not overheat candy coating or it may scorch.
Tip #3
Use remaining melted candy coating to dip pretzels or chocolate wafers.
Tip #4
Spiral candy forks can be used for dipping instead of a small spoon. They are available at cake and candy decorating stores.
